Tanks
EB were the first in the UK to develop the production of tanks in GRP (glass reinforced plastic) and have continued to lead the field ever since, continuing investment and research has resulted in one of the most advanced silo and tank production facilities across Europe.
Manufactured from EB’s blended polyester resin or optional isothalic and vinylesters, the tanks have the following advantages:
- Polished smooth inner surface
- Robust exterior c/w UV protection
- High Corrosion resistant
- High Temperature operating conditions
- Superior insulation properties compared with steel or aluminium
Each vessel is manufactured to suit the customer’s individual requirements taking into consideration:
- Required chemical resistance
- Operating Temperatures
- Pressures: Internal up to 3 bar, External up to 1 bar
- Atex rating
- Snow and wind loading
- Local loading situations through attachment of flanges, access platforms and associated equipment
- Variations for height and diameter, flat, coned or dished bottom, inlet and outlet style, size and location
Support structures are also an important consideration, varying from fully galvanised metal structures to integral GRP.
For specialist applications EB can manufacture the vessels with:
- Dual wall to allow for leak detection
- Improved insulation by the addition of polyurethane within the vessel wall
- External pigmentation for light sensitive products or to match existing buildings
Today a GRP tank is not only an alternative but also the "first" choice in storage.
